Growing tired, Shuttup was carried on Elsa's shoulder's until the pair were attacked by Carnage, however, Shuttup not being skilled in weaponry caused her to be thrown off Elsa and captured by Sauron. Elsa rescued Shuttup but the pair was attacked by Carnage again, and were saved by a Hel-Ranger. Taking Shuttup in the guise of returning her to the Shield, Elsa realised the truth too late that the Hel-Ranger was a zombified shapeshifter Mystique and went to rescue Shuttup.[2]

Shuttup was bitten by the zombies but didn't turn and rescued by Elsa using the power of the Bloodstone, eventually making to the southern tip of Battlworld, they were confronted by the unknown figure who was revealed to be an alternate universe version of Elsa's father, Ulysses Bloodstone. Ulysses was trying to obtain all versions of the Bloodstone and all members of the Bloodstone family were inexplicablly drawn to this location due to this desire. Shuttup was revealed to be a personification of Elsa's lost childhood version of herself and was the Bloodstones way of drawing her here. Ulysses was killed by Shuttup using Elsa as a distraction and Shuttup was reabsorbed back into Elsa.[4]
